"yes, you will opt in to all of this... you ask before it takes these matchmaking liberties" -- Says who? If the information available computationally increases as this article suggests, it's fantasy to imagine that your current notions of privacy will be respected.

It wasn't as strong an assertion as you made it out to be. Of course you won't be able to opt into being tracked/filmed/panoptified. You'll just opt into the auto-agent features that search out specific relevant information. In other words, although everyone will get to know anything they want, no one will have to know anything they don't want (what my boss did on his vacation to get tanned only on his groin region, for instance.)
